Mercedes chief executive Toto Wolff said goodbye to James Woles, who will join Williams in February.
Wowles will become Williams` new boss, and has long served as director of strategy at Mercedes.
As Director of Race Strategy, a role in which he has had a significant impact on our team`s success in recent years, James has always been a very valuable member of our team. I have worked with him since my appointment at Mercedes in 2013 and I know what a diligent, talented and capable employee he is. And it gave me great pleasure to follow his growth in the Mercedes team.
Leaving his permanent position on the bridge in the middle of the 2022 season, James has built a very skilled team of strategists while working at the base. And now we have a talented team of strategists who can continue his work.
And while we are all saddened to say goodbye to James, I know he has what it takes to be a great F1 team leader. We wish him all the best and are very excited that James can take the next step in his career, " said Wolff.
